A Notable Tilt.

A prominent business man Of St.
Louis, who had lately returned
from New York, tells the following
story:
Some time since, a month or so
ago, Col. IngerSoll was thrown ac-
cidentallyinto The society Of Henry
Ward Beecher. There were four
or five gentlemen present, all of
whom were prominentin the world
Of brains. A variety Of topics were
discussed with decided brilliancy,
but no allusion made to religion
The distinguished infdel, was Of
course, too polite to introduce the
subject himself, but one of the par
~, finally desiring to see tilt be-
tween Bob and Beecher, made a
playful remark about Col. Inger-
soils idiosyucracy, as he termed it..
The Colonel at once defended his
views in his usual rapt rhetoric; in
fact, he waxed eloquent. He was
replied to by several gentlemen in
very effective fepartee. Contrary
to The expectation of all, Mr.. Beech
erremained an distracted listener,
and said not a word. The gentle
man who introduced the topic, with
the hope that Mr.. Beecher would
answer Col. Ingelsoll, at last re-
marked:
Mr.. Bcccher have you nothing to
say on this question?
The old man slowly lifted him
self from his attitude and replied:
"Nothing; in fact ifyou will ex-
cuse me for changing the CONVEX
satiop, | will say that while you
gentlemen were talking my mind
was bent upon a most deplorable
spectacle which l witnessed to-
day.
tWhat was-it?' at once inquired
Ingersoll, who, notwithstanding his
peculiar views of the hereafter, is
noted for his kindness of heart.
"Why," said Mr.. Beecher, E'as Twas
walking down town to day, | saw Il
poor, lame man, with crutches,

in the endeavor to cross the street.
He had just reached the middle OF
the filth when a big, burly rufian,
himself all despatched, rushed up
to him, and, Jerking the crutches
from under the unfortunate man,
left him sprawling and helpless in
the pool of liquid dirt, which en-
quilted him."
ssWhat a brute he was!" they all
echoed.
Eyes, said the old man, rising
from his chair and brushing back
his long white hair, while his eyes
glittcrcd with their old-time fire, as
he bent them on Colonel lngcrsoll,
s.yes, Colonel Ingersoll, you are
that man. The human soul is lame
but christianity gives it crutchcs
to enable it to pass across the path

The old man sat down, and 81
lence hrooded overthe scene. Cot
Ingersoll found that he had a mas
Ter in his own power of illustration
and said nothing. The company
took their hats and separated.

as the biggest coward in the State.
Anybody could run over John
Crittenden. When the war broke
out the coward joined an artillery

Morgan's cavalry charged the bat
terry to which John Crittenden be-
loneed, and when the order WAS
given to retreat the coward alone
stood by the guns, and, while in the
act Of loading,a sabre thrust ended
his life. His body was sent to his
home, and a great funeral took
place. The coward had become the
hero, and a monument was erected
to mark his resting place and tell

THE BARBECUE.

The greeting extended Gov. McEn-
cry and the other distinguished guests
OF the Democracy of OGachila last
Thursday was openhanded and lavish
and enough to satisfy any man. The
people, irrespective OF factional feeling,
turned out TO do honor to the Chief
Magistrate of the State, as was his due,
and it was none the less their desire TO
give expression to Il similar sentiment
in favor of Jonas, Gibson, Eustis, Burke
andlothers, who have served their State
and people faithfully and well.
Our limited space precludes an ex-
tended notice of the occasion or any
attempt at giving synopsis even of
the speeches. Suffice it to say, there
were two or three thousand people
present and bounteous dinner, in the
true old barbecue syle, prepared for
them. 1t is safe to assert that none
departed untiIied-both with bar bscued

and he will be as completely removed
from influence on our politics, as if he
lived in Alaska.
We ask every white man in Qua
chita parish and in all other parishes
where the Telegraph may be read to
candidly reflect upon our position. As
it is now, beardless boys, armed with
revolvers and Winchester rifles, can
control all negro mass meetings. AS
it will be under the regime which we
advocate, each white man will have
an equal vote, fair hearing and the
will of the majority will be respected
and enforced. By your deeds Of velor
in the past, by your hopes Of unity aud
strength among your own race, by the
love which you claim to feel for our
beautiful Ouachita, We appeal to you
to rescue her from all apprehension of
negro rule. Do not darken her es-
cutcheon which has always been 80
bright.
Instead OF using the negro to bring
disuuiou and disaster upon both races,
lot US remove him as far as possible
from all participation in politics and
ennoble our own race by u magnaui-
nous, just and honest treatment of the
inferior race whose destiny has been
Entrusted to US by an inscrutable Prov.
